How exactly are you determining that the record isn't being inserted?
Are you sure you're connected to the right database and querying
tables in the right schema?

Here's a complete example for you to try:

1. Create the following table:

CREATE TABLE public.foo (
   id   integer PRIMARY KEY,
   msg  text NOT NULL
);

2. Compile the following program:

int main(void)
{
   EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
   char  msg[] = "This is a test.";
   EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

   ECPGdebug(1, stderr);

   /* Adjust the next line as necessary. */
   EXEC SQL CONNECT TO tcp:postgresql://192.168.0.110/xyz USER jsbali;
   EXEC SQL INSERT INTO public.foo (id, msg) VALUES (1, :msg);
   EXEC SQL COMMIT;
   EXEC SQL DISCONNECT;

   return 0;
}

3. Run the above program and post all output it generates.

4. Connect to the database with psql or whatever client you use,
execute the following query, and post the output:

SELECT * FROM public.foo;

Also, what version of PostgreSQL are you using and what platforms
are the server and client?  I don't recall if you've said.
